Abstract. Genetic recombination refers to the exchange of DNA segments between chromosomes or other DNA molecules. In meiosis, genetic recombination ensures proper chromosome segregation and also reassorts DNA sequences on homologous chromosomes.efinitions. Genetic recombination refers to the rearrangement of DNA sequences by the breakage and rejoining of chromosomes or chromosome segments. It also describes the consequences of such rearrangements, that is, the inheritance of novel combinations of alleles in the offspring that carry recombinant chromosomes.
Creating solutions for health and nutrition. Recombinant DNA technology requires the use of molecular scissors called restriction enzymes, which cut DNA at specific sequences. The cut-out gene is then inserted into a circular piece of bacterial DNA called a plasmid.The plasmid is then re-introduced into a bacterial cell.or more information on using the use of DNA technology in producing insulin, please visit DNA Interactive: Manipulation. Producing Genetically Modified Foods A widely debated application of recombinant DNA technology is in the production of genetically modified foods.
